Jesus: Refugee, Renegade, Redeemer, hosted by renowned adventurer Bear Grylls launches tonight on TBN, taking viewers on a spiritual journey through the Holy Land to uncover the profound story of Jesus Christ.
Premiering at 8 PM ET on TBN and TBN+, this six-part series offers an intimate and transformative exploration of Jesus’ life, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice. Bear Grylls, celebrated for his daring exploits in Man vs. Wild and Running Wild with Bear Grylls, ventures beyond his survivalist persona to delve into the spiritual depths of Christ’s mission and legacy.
“This has been an adventure like no other,” Grylls shared. “When I heard the stories of Jesus and the impact He had on people, I felt compelled to walk where He walked and understand Him more deeply. Jesus is all about love, forgiveness, and calling us back to Him. I want viewers to join this adventure and see these truths for themselves.”
The series features Grylls trekking through the rugged mountains, deserts, and waters of Israel’s Holy Land, retracing Jesus’ steps while seeking a fresh perspective on His life and ministry.

It’s a spiritual journey Grylls describes as his most meaningful project to date.
“It’s the series I’m most proud of ever making,” Grylls added. “I pray it moves people from every nation to kneel down and find home in Him.”
